REVIEWED BY GLENN ROBERTS
As the name suggests, this new book is a follow-up to Alan Cathcart’s first Ducati Superbike book on the factory’s desmo V-twin Superbike racers, which was published last year. That volume covered the history of these bikes during the desmoquattro era from 1988 to 2001, whereas this latest book deals with the remaining years of their participation in the World Superbike series from the arrival of the testastretta engine in 2002, on up to the day the V-twin music died with the debut of the V4 R in 2019. During that time, Ducati won five World Superbike Riders championships with these bikes.
